Ok, so I'm selling the mrs VY so I thought I'd give the old girl a bit of a clean up. The front bar was in a pretty bad way- scratches, chips and scuffs. After trawling through JC forums and several google searches I thought I'd get me a pressure pack and do a bit of a touch up!
Purchased a can of flexible bumper primer, some plastic body filler, various sheets of sandpaper, can of wax and grease remover and a can of Heron White 679F. After hours of prep work sanding, filling, cleaning was time for some painting. Initially I had only planned on touching up various areas on the bar but it was in that bad a shape I decided to do the whole thing. I've given it 3 good coats and am very happy with the results. Now from what I have read a 2003 VY in Heron White does not have a clear coat, is this true? Also just wondering if someone in the know could advise me weather a wax or polish or even a sand with some very fine wet paper would be worthwhile? The paint has a dry feel about it?? I plan on giving the rest of the car a polish with a fine polish.
Any advise appreciated...
